Romain, Jonathan – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2007

Sigel, Irving E.; Kress, Jeffrey S.; Elias, Maurice J. – Journal of Jewish Education, 2007

Reimer, Joseph – Journal of Jewish Education, 2007
Why has it been so difficult to define the goals of Jewish informal education? Often informal educators define their work in terms of the goals of Jewish socialization.
